All Souls Day Cookies Mom's Recipe

Italian and of course Catholic? What is All Souls Day or All Saints Day? It is a solemn feast in the Roman Catholic Church commemorating all of those who have died and now are in Purgatory, being cleansed of their venial sins and the temporal punishments for the mortal sins that they had confessed and atoning before entering fully into Heaven. For more on All Souls Day go to WikipediaHere is the family recipe. Thanks Mom!

Heat oven to 350 degrees. You will need 2 parchment lined cookie sheets set aside.
In a large bowl combine all wet ingredients and mix together. Add the dry ingredients and stir the raisins and walnuts in last. Shape the cookies into 2 inch logs and place on baking sheets. Slightly flatten the logs, placing two inches apart, I add a few more raisins to the sides and top if not enough. Bake for 12 minutes on 350 degrees. When completely cooled, place the powdered sugar in a zip lock bag and shake the cookies gently into the sugar. You can freeze these and I have sent them through mail easily!
